We are all so sorry for your loss. Thank you for giving us the pleasure to have Tom on our unit he touched all our hearts.

Joyce, Marlin, Michael and families:
We were so sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. He was a great guy and we were so happy to get to know him and your family. You are a very loving and supportive family and we enjoyed your visits as much as Tom. He will be greatly missed as he always had a joke or funny story to tell us every day…he was a breath of fresh air. “Mother” and I shared many good laughs with him…he will forever be in our hearts.
Big hugs!
